Getting Started

The tests folder contains many examples of using the docker client for c++ this is a great place to look.

 dockercpp::DockerClient dockerclient;

  // Pull an image named busybox with version 1.36
  auto pulledImage =
      dockerclient.pullImageCmd("busybox")->withTag("1.36").exec();

  // Create the container with a name example and a command.
  auto response = dockerclient.createContainerCmd("busybox:1.36")
                      ->withName("example")
                      .withCmd(std::vector<std::string>{"sleep", "9999"})
                      .exec();

  auto startcontainer = dockerclient.startContainerCmd(response.id)->exec();

  auto inspectcontainer = dockerclient.inspectContainerCmd(response.id)->exec();

  auto stopcontainer = dockerclient.stopContainerCmd(response.id)->exec();

  // Check the container status now it is stopped
  auto inspectcontainerstopped =
      dockerclient.inspectContainerCmd(response.id)->exec();

  // Clean up the container by first deleting it and then removing the image
  auto deletecontainer = dockerclient.removeContainerCmd(response.id)->exec();

  auto deleteimage = dockerclient.removeImageCmd("busybox")->exec();
